Take Action
We Need YOUR HELP! Congress needs to know now that more needs to be done for people with arthritis. Please tell your Representative that the Arthritis Prevention, Control, and Cure Act (H.R. 1283) must be acted upon in September.
The Arthritis Act has overwhelming support with 240 bipartisan cosponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives; despite this, it remains stuck in committee. Please let your Representative know this bill is important to you and needs to be acted upon before Congress adjourns for the campaign trail. Go to the Arthritis Action Center to write your Representative today! Don’t let them come home without first acting on the arthritis bill.
